B-102-2
Trenton 10th mo 25th 1812
Respected Friend,
Various circumstances have occurred since we
parted to prevent my writing. Added to my indisposition at Pittsburgh,
Rd was taken down with the same complaint the first night of our
arrival in Jersey. Since his recovery we have been pretty constantly
engaged in viewing the various farms that have been offered to us.
We find very advantageous exchange of the landed estate in
Trenton could be made - had we the power at this time to make
it. Our friend TR would greately oblige us by authorizing my
brother Stockton to call on his name for a division of the estate
as also to deed it away when necessary. The farm we have a
prospect of getting is within three miles of this place. it will
be needfull we should have an order on my brother Stockton
for the balance of the money in his hands. Also on my Uncle
Charles for whatever money may be doue. He now has ready
for us One hundred ninety two Dollars $192.00. We should
like to have a copy of the minues thou hast made of the
original bond & smaller notes from my brother George. Also
of the note given by my brother Stockton to Rd mentioning the
triffle due from him. He (my brother S) is particularly desirous
to know whether the two hundred sixty dollars have
been collected. If the two quarter section cannot be sold
